We are a traveling family deeply in debt at the hospitality bank. We have played guest all over the world and need to pay back the kindness and generosity we have been given.

We live in a phenomenal community in a great house but still find we appreciate home better by leaving it occasionally. And when we're home, we'd love to bring the world to us. We recently returned from a 14-month family sabbatical in Ecuador and miss that permanent foreigness that makes us appreciate home and the possibility of the world.

The kids, ages 9 & 11, are mostly harmless and don't bite (hard). We have a wee lil' pup and a handful of chickens that make pretty good television. We're set up for good cooking and welcome you into the kitchen cook as you like.

Matt and Diana should be the spokespeople for AirBNB. They exemplify the spirit of the website, and shared not only their home, but a part of their lives with us. The experience of staying at the House of Yess was exactly what we had hoped, and more. My only regret is that we did not have more down time on our trip to visit with them for longer. I was glad that we had one mellow morning, when we got to hang out with Matt, and try to distract him from making breakfast. He still managed to put together one heck of an omelette, and provide us with a great idea for where to go find a serene lake to go canoeing for the day.
As for the amenities: The bed was extremely comfortable, and the pebbly shower floor did feel amazing, as promised. They held a parking spot right out front for us, since we had a late night arrival, it was nice not to have to search for parking. I know this is going to sound funny, but the ceiling fan was also a nice touch, to keep the room fresh. Since we got in late, they had mapped out a path to the room with paper cut out arrows and notes. Then there was a great binder full of information, and a sweet welcome basket waiting on the bedside table.
We departed super early, too. But not before Diana poured us a fresh cup of cold brew, and packed us a to-go bag of bananas and yogurt. Seriously, what more could you ask for?
They literally thought of everything. Do yourself a favor, and if you're even thinking of booking here... just do it.

I've stayed in a few Airbnb's over the last few years, but I have never experienced the comfort that I had at Matt's home in Minturn. From the moment I walked in the door and the rooms opened up before me, each one more beautiful then the last, with high ceilings, and a large floor plan, I knew I had landed somewhere special. Matt and Diana have a knack for decorating, and creating a homey atmosphere. Well, it is their home, and their two children Piper and Duncan were a delight! But, the icing on the cake was their little dog Bonnie, who coaxed my old dog into playing with her. They made fast friends, and that's uncommon for my old boy. I think he had a crush on her. The bedroom was beautiful, with a door to the deck. I loved the bathroom, with a big walk-in shower, and a tub with all the accoutrements for a long soak. The backyard chickens made the most endearing sounds, that lulled me to sleep one day when I laid down for a nap. Every morning I was treated to the most delicious breakfast. Sometimes with fresh eggs from the hens. I instantly liked Matt and Diana, so easy to talk to, genuinely friendly and warm. They have traveled extensively, and the souvenirs of their travels are placed around the house. I found that fascinating. The kids invited me up into their tree house, and we talked about books. Piper is quite the climber, and she easily scaled the tree another 30 feet up! Very cool. I stayed three nights with the Scherr's, and vowed to return for ski season. These folks know how to make a person feel welcome, and I feel like I've made some new friends! Definitely a five star rating!

Another fantastic weekend in Minturn! The Scherr's have a knack for making me feel like a family member each time I return. They are gracious, kind, and fun-loving. And they cook you fresh eggs! What more could a girl want?

Kearse and I had a great time with Matt, Diana, Piper, Duncan, and Bonnie! They have such a cool house with a tree house in the backyard. And there was a neighborhood block party going on while we were there so we got to meet all the neighbors! We didn't have to worry about our dog because they had a good fence and their kids and dog played with him the whole time. They gave us great recommendations for food, and things to do around town and in Vail. The breakfast that Diana cooked for us was incredible! The bedroom and bathroom were both clean, and comfortable! We didn't want to leave, my girlfriend was begging me to take a sick day and stay longer.

I had a wonderful time with Matt and Diana and can only join the praise in other reviews.
Their easy-going ways, rich travel experience and open mind makes for most interesting, entertaining conversations . I enjoyed being treated like part of the family, at the same time I could have all the privacy I wanted.
The guest room has a large, comfortable bed, a sliding door opens onto a terrace with afternoon sun. The adjoining bathroom has a cozy bathtub and large walk-in shower; soft towels, hair dryer, all the amenities.
Matt let me use the conservatory, a great place to chill out in after a day on the slopes; basking in the afternoon sunlight and watching the chicken in the backyard is blissful.
Matt's and Diana's intimate knowledge of all things skiing led to me to wonderful trails and slopes.
There is lots more to mention ... the folk at the local bar across the street, the latest talk of the town, s'mores over campfire ... enjoy finding out yourself :-)
Thanks Matt and Diana, say hi to the kids, I hope to see you again!

Matt offers a beautiful room in a lovely mountain town, close to several ski resorts and other outdoor opportunities. The room and attached private bathroom are very nice and clean. Matt provides a delicious full breakfast and welcomed us in the evening with a few local craft brews. His family are true hosts and made us very welcome in their house. They offered useful local knowledge on town amenities, activities, and any other needed information
Unfortunately, AirBNB doesn't let you give more than five stars. I rarely have wanted to give more than five stars, but this spot deserves it.

Without the slightest of doubts in the planet, staying at Matt and Diana's amazing home has been our most memorable air bnb experience thus far... and I don't foresee anything surpassing it.
My girlfriend and I were headed to Vail as our final road trip stop to indulge in some skiing. Looking up hotels on kayak... It appeared that our cheapest option was holiday inn for a "measly" $300. Why we didn't think of airbnb right away is beyond me. But of course that is how we stumbled upon Matt and Diana's home.
You walk through the gate and the house is straight out of a movie. Look up the word cozy on Wikipedia, the fist image that should show up is this house. It is located in the charming gem of a town called Minturn which is as close as you can be to Vail without being in Vail. It takes literally 9.2 minutes to get to the heart of Lionshead from their house. To us, it couldn't be any more refreshing to escape the semi pretentious/touristy vail scene after a long day of skiing back to the inviting Minturn.
Words truly cannot express how warm and hospitable Matt and Diana were (and how cute and loving their dog Bonnie is)... but I will do my best to captivate their amazingness.
Walking into our room we found a bottle of Pinot Noir and a welcome basket with granola, water, fruits... the works. Not to mention a bathtub with a giant jar of eucalyptus infused Epsom salt for after an exhausting day on the slopes. Game over.
Each day started with a delicious home cooked breakfast. Those chorizo breakfast burritos were one for the books. The most.. legendary things... ever. Not to mention the eggs came from the 4 chickens they have in their backyard. They gave us coupons for 20% off ski rentals and food as well as brilliant advice for free parking around Vail village.
If you are looking for a world class stay at a fraction of the cost of any standard hotel in or near Vail... do yourself a favor and let Matt and Diana take care of you. Thanks again!!

Our stay at the House of Yess was simply stated GREAT.
The Scherr family was very welcoming. They accommodated our late arrival, gave us great recommendations for the area and even shared a couple of local "secrets" (e.g. where to BBQ on top of the mountain!)
The room and bathroom were immaculate and just like the rest of the house everything was very cozy and decorated with an attention to detail. The daily breakfast was delicious and gave us the energy we need for a day of skiing on the mountain. In fact, after Diana made her baked oatmeal on our second morning, I simply had to ask for the recipe .
Minturn is a great location for skiing in Vail. It's super close and after a full day of skiing we took back the "Minturn Mile" and skied essentially right back home. The Minturn downtown area had a couple of nice restaurants and bars that we actually preferred over the more touristy places in the Vail Village.

Matt and his family were probably the best AirBnb hosts I've ever had. Their hospitality and kindness was unmatched and they provided a welcoming home that was the perfect place to go back to after a long day on the slopes. The room was beautiful and clean, and the town of Minturn is a hidden gem in the mountains of Colorado and only a ten minute drive to vail and beaver creek resorts.
Even better than the room was the company and we enjoyed getting to know Matt and Diana over the course of our stay. We struggled with altitude sickness shortly after arriving and our hosts helped us through y making us fresh toast and delicious breakfasts, going above and beyond in every way.
Minturn also has all the restaurants, cafes and bars y of could want within walking distance.
